Variations and thicknesses of anterior belly of the digastric muscle: an ultrasonographic study.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the anatomy and anatomical variations of the anterior belly of the digastric muscle.

Methods: Hundred and fifty one ultrasonographic images of the digastric muscle pairs were evaluated in Near East University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology. Morphological variations were recorded using the classification of the digastric muscle into 12 types by Kim et al.

Sphenoid Sinus Volumes of Patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate.

Objective: There is only one study in the literature in which 3D evaluation of sphenoid sinus volume in patients with cleft lip and palate was used. This shows that this issue has not been adequately evaluated. The present study aimed to compare the volume of the sphenoid sinuses in patients with cleft lip and palate on cone-beam computed tomography images, and to compare them with healthy controls.

Association of accessory sphenoidal septum with protrusions of sphenoid sinus.

Purpose: Accessory sphenoidal septum (ASS) is a septal variation that exists in addition to the primary septum of the sphenoid sinus and can be found in or near anatomically essential structures. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between protrusions of vital structures around the sphenoid sinus and the ASSs.

Methods: This cross-sectional retrospective study is based on the analysis of CBCT scans of 314 patients in axial, coronal, and sagittal planes with 0.

Physiologic intracranial calcifications incidentally detected on cone beam computed tomography.

Objectives: This study aims to determine the incidence of physiologic intracranial calcifications on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to contribute to the differentiation between physiologic and pathologic intracranial calcifications by sharing their characteristic appearances, with the largest number of patients in the literature and many different types of physiologic calcifications.

Study Design: CBCT images of 996 patients admitted to the clinic between 2018 and 2019 were scanned retrospectively. Petroclinoid (PCL) and interclinoid ligaments (ICL), pineal gland, coronoid plexus, falx cerebri, tentorium cerebelli, and other dural calcifications were evaluated in each radiograph.

Cone-beam computed tomography evaluation of impacted and transmigrated mandibular canines: a retrospective study.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate CBCT images of impacted mandibular canines in detail and to discuss implications for diagnosis and treatment.

Methods: CBCT images of dental patients applied between December 2015 and December 2017 were evaluated retrospectively. 2591 CBCT images, including mandible in their field of view, were determined and evaluated regarding the presence of mandibular canine impaction.
